Is it possible to believe in Christianity and not be a Christian?

[Deleted member 6111]

The evidence for the resurrection and various other miracles is overwhelming and I know this.

HOWEVER, I wouldnt say I was ever reall a good Christian, and recently Ive started ignoring the limitations which Christianity places upon my actions and views. i used to fuck and feel guilty, whereas now I just dont care and Ive started doing things which i dont even feel a great compulsion to do, I just find minor satisfaction in them

Im not living as a Christian most of the time now, but I know that Christianity is true and I still go to church. what am I?

jfl the true definition of christian is one who believes jesus came back to life and its the truth, you are more christian than most "christians" unironically

 

[Deleted member 5431]

You would be gnostic? It gets a lot of bad rap because satanist scum twisted it to justify their actions. The Ancient Gnostics revered Christ and believed in rejecting the flesh. Of course it differs from Mainstream Christianity obviously but as long as you show a reverence and belief for Christ you should be okay.

Satanists believe in Christianity but aren't Christians

You sir are theist

Yes, Catholic community and others Churches will officially recognize you as christian when you do the first sacrament, the Baptism. But you don't need to be baptized to attend the Mass.

Satan is aware that the resurrection happened, and he is aware of the nature of Christ.

a Christian isn’t just aware of truth of the Gospel, they live as followers of Christ. This is what Protestantism is confused about

I’m a baptised Catholic and i go to Mass almost every Sunday, but I’m not living as a Christian.

Most people who claim to be Christians will end up in hell, sadly. I expect the majority of them to be Catholics.
The thing with being an actual Christian is, there is only one way to God, and that is through Jesus Christ.
It's an extremely narrow path to follow, and most self-proclaimed Christians will (unknowingly) choose to walk a different path to walk on, that won't grant them eternal life.

I just read the title sry. Man you shouldn't feel guilty for having sex, or faping, imo those are really petty things. You don't need to live like a priest to be a Christian. I don't believe in priests, but Christ.
And "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" is His golden rule.
Man, all the power to you for questioning and recognizing Christian teachings as something worth giving a shot as their goal is to make people a proper virtuous human beings.

I’m going to hell because I’m a Catholic dog?

I tried to be a soldier of jesus

 

[Deleted member 5431]

If your in a church that worships Israel then it probably explains why you feel guilty. Most of them put a lot of emphasis on following the law of the ot to the tee instead of following Christ. There not even Christians in my book as Judaism is Satanic and incompatible with Christianity. Most of them are crypto Jews who believe in being self righteous and love Israel more than they love Christ.

No, bro. You can still be a soldier of Jesus.

The thing with Catholics and the Catholic Church is, not all Catholics are bad people (and not all of them will go to hell either, some will definitely go to heaven) but the Catholic Church, in itself, is an inherently bad institution.

Their doctrines are very anti-Christian in nature, most notability their idol worship, and worship of Mary instead of Jesus.

I'm sure @john2 will agree with me on this one.

The context of John 3:16 is The Gospel (The Good News) of salvation of hell-bound sinners through faith. The concept is literally that faith (belief, and debateably to some extent religious conviction) that Jesus Christ was sent by God to this earth to live a sinless life but be crucified in our place so we can be forgiven for our sins by simply accepting this gift instead of make old-testament sacrifices (The wages of sin is death.) This all began when Adam and Eve brought sin into the world by Satan’s temptation in The Garden of Eden.

Yet many ignorant fair-weather “christians” (The most NT thing to be as an American/European in 2020) have never heard the gospel and assume it is based on salvation through good works.

You are a sinner who is saved by grace (giving someone something they don't deserve.)

Good works are evidence of Faith. You can’t be a Christian without attempting to emulate Christ in your actions and relations with others. Knowing that Christianity is true and calling yourself a Christian isnt the whole of what Faith is.

“In the same way faith, if good deeds do not go with it, is quite dead.

But someone may say: So you have faith and I have good deeds? Show me this faith of yours without deeds, then! It is by my deeds that I will show you my faith.”

Glad you replied to this thread brocel.

Agreed.

You're just another lukewarm person who's going to hell. You must truly repent from your sins. Sinning = honoring Satan. Committing righteousness and living holy = honoring Christ. Don't fall for the widespread lie that you can still keep on sinning after you've given your life to Jesus. You're either of God or of Satan.
It's the biggest comforting set of words that'll cost you an eternity while you stay deluded. Get married and stop having sex outside of marriage if you haven't done so already.

I just read the title sry. Man you shouldn't feel guilty for having sex, or faping, imo those are really petty things. You don't need to live like a priest to be a Christian. I don't believe in priests, but Christ.

Another gaslighter. Your body is meant to be the temple of the Holy spirit. You were initially created in the image of God. God doesn't sin and so shouldn't you. If you can't crucify your own flesh and walk the narrow path to eternal life, it's just over. OP needs to repent and get himself right before God if he wants to be saved.

You are a sinner who is saved by grace (giving someone something they don't deserve.)

God is love in the sense that he'll forgive your past sins if you truly repent. Each time you sin, you deserve his judgment in hell. But confession and repentance from your sins is the only way Christ will forgive you from it. The devil knows that as long as you're alive... he still has a chance to claim your soul. And this is why you're tempted each day to sin and give into the world and it's ways.

There's so many heretical doctrines in the Catholic church. One is about worshiping Mary and the second is about the position of a "pope". The Pope is said to be some mediator between you and god lol. It is clearly been stated that no man can forgive another man's sins. Only Christ can. Repent and follow Christ, not Mary or the Pope. Something similar is going on in the Protestant church and that is people idolizing the Bible. They'd turn to the Bible and justify their sin (which isn't specifically addressed in scripture)... rather than listening to the Holy Ghost and acting upon their conviction. The true Church of Christ consists of those who repent and obey Jesus throughout their life time as faithful servants. It's called the narrow path to heaven for a reason. Read Philippians 2:12. Verses like these are never talked about.

You aren't a real Christian in that case imo. The holy spirit needs to tell you what you're doing is wrong and you need to want to repent.

If you believe in the teachings of christianity you are a Christian whether your other life choices reflect that or not, in that case you’d just be a bad christian, but still one.

What if you believe in Jesus, because there is overwhelming evidence he existed, just not of his miracles, but you don't follow any Christian doctrine or go to church? Will you still be saved?
